Nope, Ridley Scott has proven in the past and even now with Alien Covenant that he's only as good as the script he's working with. He has no clue he's close to killing the Alien franchise.
because people likes to complain. and ridley has no choice but to follow, he's afraid the movie will flop. but for me i like the prometeus better. i am so intrigged with the engineers. lots of questions. why would people love those gores and aliens? i am more interested. in deep story. the quest for mankinds origins than this shitty alien combat. just sad
Prometheus, Alien, Blade Runner, The Martian, Gladiator, Thelma & Louise, Black Hawk Down, Kingdom of Heaven, The Counselor, A Good Year, Alien Covenant, G.I. Black Rain . . . incredible, tireless director.
The interviewer is weird. He shouted "Phantom Menace" when Ridley was saying that he was depressed because of the 1977 film and what would he be able to do...
Prometheus was way too deep and slow paced for many Alien fans. They wanted Ripley shooting shooting Xenomorphs with a flamethrower and shouting crowd pleasing lines like "Get away from her, you bitch!" I wanted a straight continuation of the Prometheus story, not a soft reboot of Alien. Anyone that claims the Prometheus script was bad should submit their own screenplay online so we can see what a great script really looks like. We now live in a world filled with losers and trolls who create and contribute absolutely NOTHING to society, yet they constantly criticize the hard work and creativity of others. Critics especially are the lowest form of untalented scum on the planet as they comment on the failure or success of others to make their own living.
Whine all you want, but I liked the original Prometheus Draft 'ALIEN:Engineers' by Jon Spaihts with the Xeno & it's lifecycle incorporated. I like the ideas of Prometheus, but I fucking hated Damon Lindelof and his horrid rewrite that removed the Xenomorph and it's life cycle, I wanted The Engineers AND The Xenomorph together onscreen, Lindelof is such a shitty hack writer, just malformed Spaihts awesome original.
Well as an Alien fan, I prefer the original Alien movie over Aliens, I prefer the slow burn horror and that's why I didn't hate Prometheus as much as everyone, but you're right people want to the action horror of Aliens even though that's not what made the series great.
I liked all 4 movies (Alien , Aliens, Prometheus, and Covenant), but just not the same. Alien, and games like Alien Isolation are my favorite. Aliens is also really great too, but it's more of a good finale. Introducing a bunch of hardcore weapons kinda kills it...literally. I don't think expanding Aliens outside of something like Aliens: Infestation ever really works. It starts to lose horror unless you introduce newer threats like Praetorians, Queens, Kings, Empresses, Queen Mothers, and the Alien homeworld. It can only go so far... Meanwhile I do like the direction that Prometheus took, and even Alien Covenant (David creating/spreading Xenos, having an evil God complex), but both movies just have really idiotic and unrelatable characters. Alien and basically every other Alien/Sci-fi movie had smarter characters and quarantine procedures. I couldn't even recognise anyone outside of Daniels, the replacement captain, the guy with the cowboy hat, and David/Walter, (and 2 seconds of James Franco, and Shaw's corpse barely if you even count that). I saw a blonde lady, a black lady, and a pile of like 10 bodies. Even in Prometheus I recognized the dumb characters...and even those characters wore helmets on uncharted planets and didn't wander off alone when they knew dangerous Aliens were running about. Plus, Prometheus was more original and really expanded the universe...while Covenant...not so much aside from Neomorphs. Not saying either movie is bad though...but why would they not be wearing helmets or sticking together on uncharted planets when they already did so in Alien and Prometheus (mostly)?
I was pissed when I wrote that, I've calmed down since. I also watched Prometheus 3D again and saw Covenant a second time this weekend. I just wish we could have had a straight up Prometheus sequel instead of the mix tape called Covenant. With that said, Covenant would have been a great THIRD film in the new Ridley Scott Alien saga after he wrapped up the Prometheus storyline with its own full movie. Covenant feels like a compromise, not a vision.
I agree 100% with Ridley & how he see's the future of the 'Alien'. In the past he's been said to be a difficult director but,just look at what his name is attached to, even 1985's 'Legend'. A broad spectrum director who's just not looking for shock value, but the cause & effect & aftershock value. Brilliant!
You still don't understand what you're dealing with, do you? Prequels are the perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility to their fans. I admire its purity. A survivor... unclouded by coherence, answers, or delusions of plot. One more thing about the next movie... I can't lie to you about your chances, but... you have my sympathies
he wasn't depressed because of the phantom menace he was depressed as a director as lucas had just nailed it, which left him thinking what the F**k do i do now...
It would be awesome to see the initial explorations that led to the colonization of the planet and members Weyland-Yutani encountering the Deacon & the Queen. I would love to see a few facehuggers making it to a Weyland-Yutani installation or hidden aboard ship or cargo by the end of Scott’s sequel.
I hope Ridley Scott delivers. I would love to see a film where members of Weyland-Yutani also respond to the same signal the Nostromo caught or intercept part of the Narcissus transmission. I would love to see a film with advanced computer systems on the bridge and compartments, but with a seal room and a direct line where we see the messages come in green letters.
I loved Prometheus, I need to watch Covenant again and will be interested to see where it goes in Awakening.. Clearly the arc revolves around David, which is cool because we typically don't see the arc revolve around the bad guy... I love the back stories on how David engineered the Xeno's.. , similar to Batman Begins, giving the viewer a look into how we got to the future rather than just placing us there.. Keep it interesting, make us think, make us wonder... that's where Prometheus succeeded.. If you want simple shoot em up, go watch Fast n Furious..
Dude, cut back on caffeine before these interviews. We shouldn't be watching YOU talk just as much as the people we came here to see talk. You've done this in all the interviews. Quit it! lol
These Xenomorphs were by far the most terrifying Xenos I've ever seen. They felt much more intelligent and were incredible fighters, they didn't just use their brute strength.
Ridley Scott said the Alien franchise should be at War of the Worlds type level... And that's where they are going. Engineers uniting with humanity (not at first) to overcome the bigger threat, Deacon - as shown on the murul from their starship as a warning. Engineer/ Humanity vs AI/Deacon

UrboyCrazy excelent man!! this is what i wanted!! i loved Shaw caracter, very strong and interesting. i really liked David, but the one in prometheus whom seemed docil, and helpful with his own personality offcourse, not David in covenant that was like evil crazy mind, that is capable of killing and doing anything for his cause. i mean, its like David in Prometheus and David in Covenant are like diferents robots, i dont know its really strange, is like something is missing in the middle.
Nacho el pibe I dunno man, in Prometheus, David put the black goo in halloways drink. Sounds a bit insane to me. At least the David in covenant is a believable transition of the character over seven years of being isolated and tinkering with Shaw’s body. I bet doing science experiments on someone he loved made him even more conflicted and insane yeah?
When Ridley said that Alien had a B movie plot he wasn't lying. The 1958 film It! The Terror From Beyond Space was a classic B movie that was Ridley's inspiration for Alien, but he'll never admit it.
Prometheus. I got my answers as to who those Giant humans were in Alien. Covenant. I got my answers as to where the Xenomorphs are coming from. Awakening. I am excited to know what other answers I will find. Still happy where this franchise is going.
They need to ban this guy from having any contact with movie making ever again. He made brilliant stuff back in the day, and he's now destroying all of it hand over fist.
So is he continuing with the engineer storyline or going back to just the xenomorph storyline? He said clash of both worlds? Somebody please enlighten me ?
Apart from the few scenes where the CGI were a failed attempt I cant grasp the very idea why people don't like to watch a different and unique movie that goes beyond what you would have originally taught it would end up looking like. That's a good thing, if you want to rewatch remakes and the way directors steal ideas and old movies to implement new version in order to reach as many pockets as possible feel free to do so, I don't, but to literally hate the new alien movies is to me beyond my understanding of logic and reason. Are they perfect? No. Are they terrible? Absolutely no.
Ridley Scott, please finish this Prometheus series before the reboot! Also I don't understand why people shit on Prometheus and Covenant, I am a die-hard Alien fan and I loved both movies.
i was sooo disapointed where they took this movie, prometheus had such a good story at the beginning, about where we come from and all that, and than they take it to this Alien Scary Movie.
My idea for a third alien/prometheus movie is as follows: The engineers are the main characters in the movie and comes to the planet that was in the Prometheus movie. There they find Weyland inside the crashed spaceship. They have a blue elixir which they empty all over him and bring him to life. In the next part they arrive at the planet from alien covenant and find the other robot(Walter) who is david's twin.The engineers use the blue elixir and repairs him. Once awaken the engineers and Weyland get to know all the horrible things that David has done, and weyland says "we have to stop David" . They set course for origae. When they arrive,they scans all the planet,and finds the planet is full of hostile organisms except on a high mountain where they discover that there are humans inside a cave. Inside the cave they meet a herd of children, who tell that when they had lived on the planet for over ten years, they began to be attacked by Xenomorphs and all the adults died or were turned into these creatures. There were also great giants developed by someone the children calls David. The engineers get ready to wipe out all the Xenomorphs that David has created, but the great giants manage to escape with one of the engineers' spaceships. The engineers and Weyland hunts the spaceship and manage to force the spaceship down on the planet lv426.Where it start sending a distress signal. The engineers return to Origae to find David, but discover that he has escaped. In the last part we see David arriving and meeting an unknown alien species on a tropical like planet.And that makes the cliffhanger that ends the third movie.
We need a movie on the Xenomorph home world! Maybe something Starship trooper Esq. You know we're warring back and forth, maybe they destroy earth and humans are left surviving in a massive fleet and decide "eye for an eye, it's only fair"
he’s exactly right with everything he is saying I wish this movie was doing better in the box office i hear far to much negative reviews about this film its not avp or suicide squad or as slow and tedious as promethius so what did they want out of it?
He clearly loves the franchise. He can make any movie he wants and at 80 he can't make many more. He is making Alien movies because he enjoys them. I remember reading something about him talking to James Cameron and telling jim how he just loves science fiction so much. And jim asked him why he wasn't making science fiction movies? This was before Prometheus.
At the end of it all guys we know we are getting the alien universe we allways wanted spoilers or not i'm looking forward to the future of the franchise even more now! Happy days ahead!
This might sound nutty, but I would like to see an adaptation of the Alien vs predator side scrolling beat em up released by Capcom. They can take out the predator and just keep the Cyborg characters and film it like an all out war film.
The funny thing its less interesting and contradicting that *SPOILERS* David made the xeno. The story should've stayed with the Engineers. They were far more interesting than a sentient robot (which was been done many times before).
i dont think people realize how big this could all really get..... there was that promo clip that was like a commercial for getting your own "walter".... which obviously david and walter are not individuals.... more like an operating system... meaning LOTS.... there could be simultaneous missions we never considered....
They better have a good explanation as to why the Engineers would tell anyone, much less their targets where their BIO WEAPONS BASE IS. It would also be nice if we learned about the kinds of people Engineers are.
and one thing i didnt like about alien in covenant was alien in covenant was like angry dog just straight attacks first human which it sees but alien in alien 1979 was like patient predator waits to strike its prey at the right moment ( if any body saw the director cut of alien would know what im saying first time we see alien in director cut is when its on chains waiting for one the crew to get closer )
Ridley Scott says after watching the first Star Wars (1977) he was "depressed for 6 months" because of how brilliant it was... the interviewer talks over him thinking by "first Star Wars" he's talking about the "Phantom Menace", nods & says "I think we all were." Listening skills 101. Oh dear.
This is how I feel about Ridley scott and the alien In "Alien3" she told this life form: "I've known you so long I can't remember a time when you weren't in my life." I'm telling the aliens the same thing. This is a series whose inspiration has come, gone, and been forgotten. I'm aliened out. I feel the same all thanks to Ridley scott I hate this dude
Pasely isn't a necessarily good thing, suspense is what Ridley Scott is good at, not seeing everything leaves you mind fucked and more terrified (what's in the dark). Just a slither of a Xenomorph emerging from the dark knowing there's a whole lot more of the creature or more of them still in the dark is,......terrifying.
Covenant has only made $57 mil so far domestic after 9 days. They should make a small profit including international. But, doesn't seem to me to be enough to green-light more.
It's not a spoiler. There are tons of comics out there which narrate the covenant story. Anyway. They find David at the end of it, merged with the black goo. Only his face remains intact while everything else is partly an organic/cybernetic mass. Tubes and beads connected with black organic stuff. Anyhow, he became the creator himself. I can't sadly find that particular comic, but it's somewhere out there.
Can't believe he's like 80 now, and he is still churning out all these epic movies. Guy is a real inspiration.
Crichjo32 he looks 50
Crichjo32 he's a legend.
Ikr. Dude's a f*cking trooper, even now at 80. "Nothing's over while I'm still breathing."
legend? bell-end more like. thanks for ruining alien you ego maniac. didley squat can fuck off.
Nope, Ridley Scott has proven in the past and even now with Alien Covenant that he's only as good as the script he's working with. He has no clue he's close to killing the Alien franchise.
I can't believe they didn't bring us Prometheus 2 because of fucking social media
It will be delivered but we have to wait again xD the next movie is in between Prometheus and this one I think
kukac Alien: Awakening appears to be a Prometheus sequel. Let's hope it's better!
TheShreester Are you sure? I think Ridley said that he wants to keep working with the Covenant storyline
kukac Scott often contradicts himself so I can't be sure. We'll have to wait and see...
because people likes to complain. and ridley has no choice but to follow, he's afraid the movie will flop. but for me i like the prometeus better. i am so intrigged with the engineers. lots of questions. why would people love those gores and aliens? i am more interested. in deep story. the quest for mankinds origins than this shitty alien combat. just sad
Ridley looks incredible. Gunna be 80 this year and he looks a decade younger.
Yeah, money does often have this effect on one's health!
Prometheus, Alien, Blade Runner, The Martian, Gladiator, Thelma & Louise, Black Hawk Down, Kingdom of Heaven, The Counselor, A Good Year, Alien Covenant, G.I. Black Rain . . . incredible, tireless director.
The interviewer is weird.
He shouted "Phantom Menace" when Ridley was saying that he was depressed because of the 1977 film and what would he be able to do...
Jo$h
I wonder what the hell he was talking about. The Phantom Menace?
And Ridley was in 77 at the moment. Lol
@@wolfgangbuck841 Glad I'm not the only one who noticed.
I personally can't wait for the next film. I enjoyed Covenant a lot.
Prometheus was way too deep and slow paced for many Alien fans.

Without Giger... better say Alien would be a B-Class movie ...
And what would it be without Lovecraft? Giger was just doing Lovecraft. Tho doing it well.
I agree 100% with Ridley & how he see's the future of the 'Alien'. In the past he's been said to be a difficult director but,just look at what his name is attached to, even 1985's 'Legend'.

or continuity. it's not a space horror but a AI threat now. How original.
Brilliant
!
Nice interview - Scott very relaxed
1:43 Did Ridley just fart...? lol
Yep hahahahahaah
Wouldn't you?
"OOOO"
yes, ooh! He was drunk of wine, ussually alcoholic people sounds like that
The interviewer has nice hair
he wasn't depressed because of the phantom menace he was depressed as a director as lucas had just nailed it, which left him thinking what the F**k do i do now...
2:14 "He's special" .... you damn right he is mr. Scott!
"They dont know it yet but thats what we're doing FOX" *gives camera a thumbs up*
God I love Ridley Scott lool
i loved it. i love that we have more questions. real excited for more films and for sir ridley to continue his work
So...spoiler alert at 3.30?
David created the xenomorph
Akhail Nkoro thanthayomdo myre
i feel your pain
That happens in the trailer, bro!
You're a real one!
It would be awesome to see the initial explorations that led to the colonization of the planet and members Weyland-Yutani encountering the Deacon & the Queen. I would love to see a few facehuggers making it to a Weyland-Yutani installation or hidden aboard ship or cargo by the end of Scott’s sequel.
I really appreciate your work, love all your movies especially Prometheus
Sir Ridley Scott doesn't give a FUGGHHHHH about critics
Yeah, that's why he changed Alien Covenant after reading the critique on Prometheus. He literally says that 3,5 minutes in the video ffs!
That's arguably more of a response to fans than to critics.
I hope Ridley Scott delivers. I would love to see a film where members of Weyland-Yutani also respond to the same signal the Nostromo caught or intercept part of the Narcissus transmission. I would love to see a film with advanced computer systems on the bridge and compartments, but with a seal room and a direct line where we see the messages come in green letters.
1:44 2:18 Haha Ridley Scott is really a lovable and funny man, especially for a director, blesses to him!
What a conincidence it is, that every time I watch such an interview, the interviewer is very fond of the film. How does it work?
I loved Prometheus, I need to watch Covenant again and will be interested to see where it goes in Awakening.. Clearly the arc revolves around David, which is cool because we typically don't see the arc revolve around the bad guy... I love the back stories on how David engineered the Xeno's.. , similar to Batman Begins, giving the viewer a look into how we got to the future rather than just placing us there.. Keep it interesting, make us think, make us wonder... that's where Prometheus succeeded.. If you want simple shoot em up, go watch Fast n Furious..
we need more the thing movies!!!!!!
Dude, cut back on caffeine before these interviews. We shouldn't be watching YOU talk just as much as the people we came here to see talk. You've done this in all the interviews. Quit it! lol
This interview was a complete rubbish!
And, if the interviewer LOVES Alien Covenant, that only means that his quality standards are quite LOW!
nice schilling mate, well done
Exciting !
Awesome
I could listen to Ridley all day
Alien going War of the Worlds is what I was expecting when I saw the original trailer for Alien 3. The future for the series looks...terrifying.
These Xenomorphs were by far the most terrifying Xenos I've ever seen. They felt much more intelligent and were incredible fighters, they didn't just use their brute strength.
great interview by a fan
Awesome series. So far.
Prometheus, Covenant, what's next?
Ridley Scott said the Alien franchise should be at War of the Worlds type level... And that's where they are going. Engineers uniting with humanity (not at first) to overcome the bigger threat, Deacon - as shown on the murul from their starship as a warning.
Engineer/ Humanity vs AI/Deacon
Wtf!!!!!! How could Ridley make a huge spoiler like that? Is he crazy??
I wanna go back in time 😭😭😭
it's not a spoiler, it was made pretty clear in Prometheus.
Yes, wasn't Prometheus indication enough for you that he's gone senile?
John Sullivan
No, it wasn't. You are just trying to sound smart as an afterthought.
Biomechanoid one thing is to come up with a theory, another one is to be 100% certain of how events are going to evolve.

UrboyCrazy
A million times better than what ridley gave us
UrboyCrazy excelent man!! this is what i wanted!! i loved Shaw caracter, very strong and interesting. i really liked David, but the one in prometheus whom seemed docil, and helpful with his own personality offcourse, not David in covenant that was like evil crazy mind, that is capable of killing and doing anything for his cause. i mean, its like David in Prometheus and David in Covenant are like diferents robots, i dont know its really strange, is like something is missing in the middle.
Nacho el pibe
I dunno man, in Prometheus, David put the black goo in halloways drink. Sounds a bit insane to me. At least the David in covenant is a believable transition of the character over seven years of being isolated and tinkering with Shaw’s body. I bet doing science experiments on someone he loved made him even more conflicted and insane yeah?
AH MAN, it's so hard not spoiling this movie for myself, damnnnnnn you time!! Tick faster!!
Check out 3:30 you won't regret it
I didn't expect a spoiler about Covenant, I thought this was about future films only.
love this
One of the greatest directors of all time. I loved alien covenant!
When Ridley said that Alien had a B movie plot he wasn't lying. The 1958 film It! The Terror From Beyond Space was a classic B movie that was Ridley's inspiration for Alien, but he'll never admit it.
Prometheus. I got my answers as to who those Giant humans were in Alien.
Covenant. I got my answers as to where the Xenomorphs are coming from.
Awakening. I am excited to know what other answers I will find.
Still happy where this franchise is going.
Can't believe Ridley is near 80 years old!!! Nice director!
Ridley Scott "watch it or fuck off" 😂😂😂
They need to ban this guy from having any contact with movie making ever again. He made brilliant stuff back in the day, and he's now destroying all of it hand over fist.
Crazy to think he came from the same city as the one I was raised in
So is he continuing with the engineer storyline or going back to just the xenomorph storyline? He said clash of both worlds? Somebody please enlighten me ?
Ridley! Ridley! Ridley!
Apart from the few scenes where the CGI were a failed attempt I cant grasp the very idea why people don't like to watch a different and unique movie that goes beyond what you would have originally taught it would end up looking like. That's a good thing, if you want to rewatch remakes and the way directors steal ideas and old movies to implement new version in order to reach as many pockets as possible feel free to do so, I don't, but to literally hate the new alien movies is to me beyond my understanding of logic and reason. Are they perfect? No. Are they terrible? Absolutely no.
During all this interview I was surprised I didn't hear someone say: It's like poetry, it rhymes...
Ridley Scott, please finish this Prometheus series before the reboot! Also I don't understand why people shit on Prometheus and Covenant, I am a die-hard Alien fan and I loved both movies.
i was sooo disapointed where they took this movie, prometheus had such a good story at the beginning, about where we come from and all that, and than they take it to this Alien Scary Movie.
i still hope for an alien and Metroid spinoff
Like what Sir Ridley Scott said in the interview. David arc makes sense on paper, sadly wasn't executed well on Covenant. Sadly was disappointed.
Seriously loved this film
when Ridley says he's gonna make more Alien movies..
*squeels*
Good man.
I eeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkeedd!!!!! So hard 😂😂😂😂 can’t wait for the next one
Spoiler warning would've been nice...
It literally says "Spoiler Alert" in the title
Alex Headley Sure asf didn't last week.
My idea for a third alien/prometheus movie is as follows:
The engineers are the main characters in the movie and comes to the planet that was in the Prometheus movie.
There they find Weyland inside the crashed spaceship. They have a blue elixir which they empty all over him and bring him to life.
In the next part they arrive at the planet from alien covenant and find the other robot(Walter) who is david's twin.The engineers use the blue elixir and repairs him.
Once awaken the engineers and Weyland get to know all the horrible things that David has done, and weyland says "we have to stop David" .
They set course for origae. When they arrive,they scans all the planet,and finds the planet is full of hostile organisms except
on a high mountain where they discover that there are humans inside a cave.
Inside the cave they meet a herd of children, who tell that when they had lived on the planet for over ten years,
they began to be attacked by Xenomorphs and all the adults died or were turned into these creatures.
There were also great giants developed by someone the children calls David.
The engineers get ready to wipe out all the Xenomorphs that David has created, but the great giants manage to escape with one of the engineers' spaceships.
The engineers and Weyland hunts the spaceship and manage to force the spaceship down on the planet lv426.Where it start sending a distress signal.
The engineers return to Origae to find David, but discover that he has escaped.
In the last part we see David arriving and meeting an unknown alien species
on a tropical like planet.And that makes the cliffhanger that ends the third movie.
We need a movie on the Xenomorph home world! Maybe something Starship trooper Esq. You know we're warring back and forth, maybe they destroy earth and humans are left surviving in a massive fleet and decide "eye for an eye, it's only fair"
Ridley is real filmmaking goals
i got an idea of what can happen after Alien Resurrection
that guy started interviewing him himself LoL
thats cool that ridley listens to criticism and changes accordingly
„I lovey-dovey-loved your" STOP right there at 0:07.
he’s exactly right with everything he is saying I wish this movie was doing better in the box office i hear far to much negative reviews about this film its not avp or suicide squad or as slow and tedious as promethius so what did they want out of it?
Can anyone make out the name of the movie Ridley said he was about to make when Star Wars came out? True Stand of Sol?...
He clearly loves the franchise. He can make any movie he wants and at 80 he can't make many more. He is making Alien movies because he enjoys them. I remember reading something about him talking to James Cameron and telling jim how he just loves science fiction so much. And jim asked him why he wasn't making science fiction movies? This was before Prometheus.
At the end of it all guys we know we are getting the alien universe we allways wanted spoilers or not i'm looking forward to the future of the franchise even more now! Happy days ahead!
Interviewer: "I thought it was brilliant therefore congratulations"
Wait Neil's Alien film is still happening ? i thought it was over
If David created the xenomorph than why was a xenomorph on the wall of the engineer ship?
Schlett Istvan cuz he is old and making this shit up as he goes along.
This is why: ua-cam.com/video/Up6p_dV7eEI/v-deo.html
I’m so hyped for the next Alien
This might sound nutty, but I would like to see an adaptation of the Alien vs predator side scrolling beat em up released by Capcom. They can take out the predator and just keep the Cyborg characters and film it like an all out war film.
Amazing movie.
I thought this was supposed to be an interview, not Ridley Scott getting a 7 minute verbal hand job. Way to be objective.
The funny thing its less interesting and contradicting that *SPOILERS* David made the xeno. The story should've stayed with the Engineers. They were far more interesting than a sentient robot (which was been done many times before).
i dont think people realize how big this could all really get..... there was that promo clip that was like a commercial for getting your own "walter".... which obviously david and walter are not individuals.... more like an operating system... meaning LOTS.... there could be simultaneous missions we never considered....
They better have a good explanation as to why the Engineers would tell anyone, much less their targets where their BIO WEAPONS BASE IS.
It would also be nice if we learned about the kinds of people Engineers are.
that's where we're going !
I loved this movie!
Time will tell if this new Alien movie will stand up. Rewatched Alien 3 and it's not that bad. Not the best but not terrible.
and one thing i didnt like about alien in covenant was alien in covenant was like angry dog just straight attacks first human which it sees but alien in alien 1979 was like patient predator waits to strike its prey at the right moment ( if any body saw the director cut of alien would know what im saying first time we see alien in director cut is when its on chains waiting for one the crew to get closer )
Ridley Scott says after watching the first Star Wars (1977) he was "depressed for 6 months" because of how brilliant it was... the interviewer talks over him thinking by "first Star Wars" he's talking about the "Phantom Menace", nods & says "I think we all were."
Listening skills 101. Oh dear.
i wanted Prometheus 2, instead i got this covenant shit.
ridders! lovely...
After watching the new GoT episode recently, it got me thinking for some random reason. Ridley Scott looks like a Owen teale/Iain glen hybrid.
I am a huge "Alien" fan, there is somthing to be said about a well plotted horror film.
Did he just go on record saying David created the Xenomorphs? 3:28?
This is how I feel about Ridley scott and the alien In "Alien3" she told this life form: "I've known you so long I can't remember a time when you weren't in my life." I'm telling the aliens the same thing. This is a series whose inspiration has come, gone, and been forgotten. I'm aliened out. I feel the same all thanks to Ridley scott I hate this dude
Iwhat to say though. I've watched the covenant and it actually closed the whole saga, along with Prometheus explained all the things
Such a good interview
Pasely isn't a necessarily good thing, suspense is what Ridley Scott is good at, not seeing everything leaves you mind fucked and more terrified (what's in the dark).
Just a slither of a Xenomorph emerging from the dark knowing there's a whole lot more of the creature or more of them still in the dark is,......terrifying.
He should have asked him why Jar Jar Binks wasn't featured more prominently in the film.
So Alien: Romulus is set to release 8/2024. Hope to god Scott has TONS of influence over it lol
Covenant has only made $57 mil so far domestic after 9 days. They should make a small profit including international. But, doesn't seem to me to be enough to green-light more.
It's not a spoiler. There are tons of comics out there which narrate the covenant story. Anyway. They find David at the end of it, merged with the black goo. Only his face remains intact while everything else is partly an organic/cybernetic mass. Tubes and beads connected with black organic stuff. Anyhow, he became the creator himself. I can't sadly find that particular comic, but it's somewhere out there.
